Question

How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated effectively?

Answer

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. For children with pronounced throat pain, symptomatic painkillers can be administered. If the child has a slight fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods. It is also necessary to ensure sufficient rest and avoid fatigue.
